Trailers and attachments
• Prior to driving on public roads remove all attachments which cannot be secured in
compliance with the legal regulations of your country!
• Get informed on the legal regulations of your country which deal with the use and appli-
cations of trailers towed by the machine!
• Trailer operation with the towing device of the machine is not permitted!
• Attachments and counterweights affect handling, as well as the steering and brake
capability of the machine!
• Fit the attachments with the specially required devices only!
• Before uncoupling or coupling hydraulic lines (hydraulic quick couplers):
• Stop the engine
• Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. In order to do so, move the control
levers of the hydraulic control units back and forth a couple of times!
• Coupling attachments requires special care!
• Secure the attachments against unintentional movement!
• Operate the machine only if all protective facilities have been installed and are
functional, and if all brake, light and hydraulic connections have been connected!
• If optional equipment is installed, all additionally required light installations, telltales
etc., must be provided for and functional!

• Especially when driving or working with machines equipped with a quickhitch for the
attachments, make sure the attachment is safely locked in the quickhitch. The lock pin
must be visible on either side of the bores on the attachment. Check before starting
work!
• Prior to fitting attachments to the loader unit, secure the control lever of the hydraulic
control unit against unintentional movement!
